Living on a deserted island, the cold female president regards me as king

"You've been on a mission here, haven't you?"

Looking at the bottomless crater, Karen instinctively took a few steps back, then looked at me seriously, "How should we get down?"

"Just follow me."

I beckoned, didn't say much, turned around, and walked along the edge of the tiankeng.

In fact, I'm not sure if I can find the way to the bottom of the tiankeng, after all, the landform here has undergone some changes.

Following the instructions of memory, I groped cautiously in the dense fog.

From time to time, I would glance at the bottom of the bottomless tiankeng, because I remember very clearly that there is a nest of giant scorpions at the bottom of the tiankeng.

Although the bottom of the tiankeng had undergone changes like landslides and earth cracks before, that kind of destructive geological disaster for humans may not necessarily have any impact on the giant scorpion.

Perhaps until now, those giant scorpions are still active at the bottom of the tiankeng.

This is not a good thing for us.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of groping, I finally found the way down.

However, the path leading to the bottom of the tiankeng is now covered with large and small gravel. Fortunately, thermal imaging shows that there are no monsters within the range that the eyes can remember.

Under my signal, Karen walked in the front unwillingly.

"I can't help it. I'm a wounded person, so I can only entrust this kind of exhausting work to you."

I shrugged helplessly, then walked to Wu's side.

"Ah……"

Kailun glanced at me indifferently. Of course she knew that I used her as a coolie, but she still took on the task of opening the way for the sake of my injury.

All the large pieces of rubble blocking the way were easily thrown down the cliff by her.

During the whole process, Wudu remained silent, with his head bowed. The hand behind his back moved from time to time. I noticed that after several hours, his newly grown hand was much smaller than his original hand. As far as the arms are concerned, they are much stronger.

Eat each other, the more you eat, the stronger you become.

In my heart, this idea kept churning, the more I thought about it, the more I felt the creeps in my heart, because I felt that the way these monsters acted was like raising Gu.

If things go on like this, let the monsters gather wherever they can and cannibalize each other, who knows what horrible creatures will be born.

"Back off!"

Suddenly, Karen screamed and interrupted my thoughts.

Following her gaze, she could see high piles of rubble on the road ahead, and under the scattered rubble on top, a dark and hard carapace could be seen.

With just one glance, I recognized what the hell this was.

giant scorpion.

I have fought against these mutant creatures more than once, and I was forced to hide in the corpse of a giant scorpion, so I have a deep impression on this thing.

In front of him, the giant scorpion buried under the pile of rubble was already dead.

Karen's reaction was really a little nervous.

I strode forward, raised my hand and gently tapped the shell of the giant scorpion, the sound was very crisp, and the inside was hollow.

I raised my eyebrows, then dug away the gravel.

I saw a gap the size of a bowl under the tail of this giant crab. The edge of the gap was uneven. It seemed that something had forcibly penetrated it. Along the gap, one could clearly see that the inside was empty. Lost.

Moreover, the empty space was very clean, not even a trace of flesh was left.

"It's dead."

I turned to the nervous Karen and explained.

"Dead?"

Hearing this, Karen's expression was somewhat relieved. She let out a breath, and walked forward. Without allowing me to say more, she threw the giant scorpion's empty shell from the side of the road.

"It's scary enough."

After all, she glanced at me indifferently, "I really don't know how people like you used to perform tasks here. This is not a place for people to stay at all."

"If it wasn't for the order from above, do you think I want to come here?"

When I said a word, Karen was speechless.

After a long time, she gritted her teeth and choked out a few words, "That's not the reason why you chose to bring me here!"

After a few arguments, we continued our journey.

However, as we got closer to the bottom of the tiankeng, the surrounding fog became denser.

If it weren't for the fact that we can rely on thermal imaging, even my eyesight would not be able to see the road ahead.

My whole body was wrapped in thick fog.

It feels wet and sticky, and the clothes stick tightly to the body, feeling heavy.

Of course I know that this is a psychological effect, but unfortunately, we have been walking in this environment for too long.

The psychological burden is enough to completely crush a nervous person.

All the way down, we encountered at least a dozen empty shells of giant scorpions. They have one thing in common, that is, there is a gap under the tail.

This more or less made me feel a little uneasy.

Because I have stayed under the tiankeng for a long time, I clearly know that the giant scorpion living under the tiankeng has no natural enemies.

They have absolute supremacy in this tiankeng, and even on this small island.

But this time, we encountered a large number of dead giant scorpions.

The gap on the giant scorpion's body was obviously pierced with a sharp weapon of the same irregular shape.

You know, since the oil barrel was mined, the company has never sent anyone to the bottom of the sinkhole.

The thing that caused the mass death of the giant scorpions must not be human beings.

The closer I got to the bottom of the tiankeng, the more nervous I became. I was on full alert and focused on feeling the surrounding environment, guarding against any possible sudden danger.

But unexpectedly, the road was safe except for the empty shell of a giant scorpion.

Safe, even makes me a little suspicious, are we hallucinating?

After several hours, we finally came to the bottom of the tiankeng. Unexpectedly, the fog here has lightened a lot. Even if we don't rely on thermal imaging, our field of vision is very clear and wide.

When we saw this scene with our naked eyes, it gave chills down the spine.

Hundreds of corpses of giant scorpions piled up on the cracked ground!
There is no doubt that these giant scorpions have become empty shells, they are already dead and cannot die anymore.

"What happened to them?"

Karen's voice trembled.

Among us, none is more calm than Wu.

These giant scorpions that have turned into empty shells in front of him, not only did not scare him, but filled his eyes with longing!
